Discussion: Steroid Dangers

[dude2003]

Probably like many of you I hate coming off of a cycle. My motivation drops, my sex drive tanks, and clomid really bums me out. I look at all the gains I made and know that now I have to work even harder just to keep most of it. I am sometimes tempted to just stay on, or try a bridge, or not take enough time off. Which leads me to ask.....

What are the real dangers from steroids?

I see a lot in the popular media about life threatening dangers. I see lots of warnings on the boards. I also see a lot of people refuting many of the dangers. I know there is tons of knowledge on this board and thought it would be good to here some different opinions.

The biggest danger to me has got to be going to jail. You're probably looking for some health related opinions but I have a good buddy fresh out of the joint (5 years bro, 5 fucking years) for what I would call a moderate amount of gear. It wasn't a warehouse full of coke or a meth lab but hey, the police dpt makes some cash. Even Bush calls for the US to "get rid of steroids now!" as he wipes some fuckin dust off his nose, what a piece of shit. I can feel myslef getting pretty worked up so Im going to have to leave this by saying stay safe and good health bro.

A bridge isn't the answer, who told you doing juice was a guarantee to keep muscle without do some work for it?

Building and maintaining muscle is a job, nothing is given it's earned

Well obviously he was sourcing here and there. In all honesty Im not sure how much he got caught with. I know he routinely had a few grand worth of gear but laid out...that aint that much at all. Its all about the mgs / mls I guess. A few thousand tabs of anything seems bad...but lets say 3000 dbol tabs...we all know its not worth jack. So yea probably a little over 50 bottles of various gear and a few thousand dbol tabs. Plus here in NY I guess syringes are a no-no. He didnt give up any sources and so...he rotted for 5 years upstate. Heres the kicker...he was 19 when he was caught. To be honest that's a horror story. He wasn't careful and paid the price. I dont know what kind of lawyer let a first timer go upstate for 5 years but those are the facts. I does happen boys.

Getting so big you're walkin in every door sideways.
No, seriously there's dangers involved in just about everything. You just have to way the pro's and the con's. You have to ask yourself, "What do I really want?" Remember, you only live once and it can all be gone tomorrow.

- Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
- Poor Lipid Profile
- Possible Liver Damage (orals)
- Prostate issues
- Gynocomastia

These are just some of the few. Obviously there are ways around some of those negative sides, such as using other drugs or avoiding certain drugs, but don't be fooled, constant abuse of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) can severly deteriorate your health. To be honest with you all, I never really thought Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) posed much of a health threat at all. That was until I researched and wrote a review of literature on Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) abuse and cardiac function in elite level athletes and realized that there are some worries out there. So don't take it lightly. When used responsibly and not abused, more often than not, everything will be completely fine. But like with any medication, if you abuse it, health complications will follow. There's no way around that.

[Tristram]

[Mudge]

Danger #1 Idiocy, lack of knowlege and preperation

 

[Golgo13]

As if I decide to use Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) my dosages will be so light, combined with the fact that I will choose which drugs that will have the least sides, I don't think I will ever have to stress about the sides that much... It is the law that vexes me.

 

[DUANABOL]

I think that the dangers are minimal, but one should cycle and not continuosly take high doses. We're into this because we care about our bodies, not just looks, but health. Always remember that! I truly believe that if you're educated with good steroid knowledge like myself, then steroids aren't that detrimental to your health and actually can benefit you in many ways. I wouldn't tell this to the average joe, my girlfriend, or my parents because they wouldn't understand, but for those in the know, steroids are basically safe, but it doesn't take much to make them very dangerous. This is what scares the government, the potential for abuse.

If you are looking for low results stick to supplements IMO. I would never have done this if I wasn't in it for something "bigger" than legals could give me. This is the same thing I tell people who only want 10 or 15 pounds and nothing more, why even bother.
